Just keep in mind you may have to make a couple different cuts (maybe one, maybe 3) to get the best fitment. With teh cut(s) it will fit and work fine... here are some other things to consider...




I also recommend getting a good filter from somewhere... the one in that kit will fall apart.


Also, tighten the worm bolts very well (but not too much). Straight pipe connections have a tendency to pop apart (see AVE0SAM's thread), you could use a hammer or something to flare the edges a little, they make tools for it, but it's not a huge deal. Using a low grit sandpaper would be enough, just make sure it's not smooth, but as rough as possible, and use a bit of rubbing alcohol to assemble it... so no oil makes it slippery.

Lastly, You may find the finish on that to be a bit "cheesy" because they put a low quality chrome plating on there. I ended up using BBQ paint and making it flat-black, then sealing it with it a clear coat to prevent scratches (satin finish).

Nice if that's the filter that came with the kit, and the rubber grommet feels loose, it will fall off. About a few months ago I realized I was driving without a fileter... just the base of the filter was still there.
